Posting this live talking about juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, how I feel about it and the homeopathic and naturopathic homemade remedies and treatments that I’m starting, and why you could too. My heart goes out to anyone that lives with arthritis, it’s not often talked about or understood or treated, especially amongst children and young people. I’m working from home today, which involves sitting at my computer doing lengthy research, writing on my desk, taking zoom calls and typing. I started to feel my arthritis flare up, and I almost wanted to cry because it’s very hard for people with this condition to assume comfortable ‘resting’ positions like sitting, laying etc, and it gets in the way of stationary work. It feels so frustrating, that laying down to ‘rest’ can feel so painful, sometimes as a defence mechanism against the pain we dissociate, which is not a positive way for me to live. So I wanted to start my treatment today, as I know for the next 6 weeks I’m going to be doing a lot of movement work that requires me to be fluid and present in my body, and I will also be required to remain stationary during my crits, calm, collected and still backstage, whilst doing theory work and written work. I hope you enjoy this video, learn something or are inspired to start home remedies to start or continue your healing. Getting a gp appointment is increasingly difficult, with excessive waiting lists and nhs treatment even more so. But there is still hope, it just takes open mindedness, willingness and a little creativity to start that personal process. Stay well, safe and blessed -AK
